If you have them managed by Cisco Prime Infrastructure you can use the compliance service to create a PSIRT/ EoX report.

SolarWinds NCM has a similar tool.

You can also use a dedicated security tool like Titania Nipper although I am not a fan of its output.

All of the above are paid products.

Cisco Active Advisor is free but limited to more basic reporting:
